Katlyn Hill, LMSW

Katlyn Hill is a licensed social worker who practices with a practical, skills-based approach. She uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people cope with worry, low mood, and life changes. Katlyn works from Michigan and brings six years of experience as a clinician. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and mood conditions including bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation. She also helps with trauma and abuse recovery, panic attacks, ADHD, and difficulties with relationships or intimacy. Additional concerns she addresses include body image, eating issues, addiction, and feelings of isolation. Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on setting clear goals and building concrete skills that can be used between meetings. She draws on DBT skills and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. When trauma is central, Katlyn can incorporate EMDR-informed techniques alongside talk therapy to reduce the impact of painful memories. She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people better understand patterns in close relationships and to work toward healthier connections. People can expect collaborative care that values their input. Katlyn listens for strengths and then helps shape a plan that fits each person’s needs. She aims to make the process straightforward and to support practical steps toward improved daily functioning.

CBT and Skills-Based Care Offered Online

Katlyn often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is aimed at changing patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching straightforward tools and homework to practice between sessions.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Mindfulness Therapy techniques. DBT skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal boundaries. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and body sensations so they can respond more calmly to triggers.

Choosing the right approach is a team process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and past experiences, then suggest techniques that fit their needs. Treatment is adjusted over time based on what is most helpful and practical for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that is helpful. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for short check-ins or between-session support. These formats make it easier to get consistent care without a commute and to use approaches like CBT and DBT in real time.
